Tolias, George MAPPING GREECE, 1420-1800, A HISTORY.
Maps in the Margarita Samourkas Collection.
Catalogue of maps compiled by Leonora Navari. New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press, HES & DE GRAAF, and National Hellenic Research Foundation 2012 11.5 x 11.5 inches hardcover, dust jacket 546 pages
Mapping Greece is a richly illustrated history of the cartography of Greece during the Renaissance and the Enlightenment, based on the Margarita Samourka Map Collection (one of the most important collections of its kind in private hands in Greece) that consists of 1,700 maps of Greece. Divided into five chapters, the book contains an introduction, conclusions, and an appendix.

Summarizing the foundations of the mapping of Greece as established by the classical and medieval cartographic tradition with the Ptolemaic revival, the maritime portolan chart, the mappa mundi, and the local cartography of early humanism, this book shows the rise and development of the regional concept of Greece and its establishment of cartographic conventions. Various chapters discuss the standardization of the regional maps of Greece in "the age of the atlas," an era of commercialization of the printed map, and the wide dissemination of these maps. Four prefaces written by George Tolias, Paschallis M. Kitromildes, Christos G. Zacharakis, and Margarita Samourkas discuss each one's thoughts on this ambitious and comprehensive project.

Also discussed is the application of modern surveying technology to the mapping of Greece, the work of astronomers and mariners, topographical commentaries, and the production of maps of ancient geography and historical maps of Greece from the end of the sixteenth century onwards. Richly illustrated in a large format, with an overwhelming number of beautiful maps illustrations, Mapping Greece contains a detailed catalogue of the maps in the Margarita Samourka collection compiled by Leonora Navari. The Margarita Samourka collection includes maps of all parts of Greece and of historical Greek regions. It is significant for its breadth and its chronological development beginning with Italian map engravers and publishers of the sixteenth century to the French reformation of cartography in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

Finally, the book provides an overall summary of the series of definitions and perceptions of Greece which emerge in the maps of the region during the centuries of foreign domination, and an assessment of the contribution of maps of Greece to the general history of cartography.

Available in Europe from HES & DE GRAAF Publishers.

  Tomasko, Mark D. NEW YORK CITY: 200 YEARS IN MAPS
New York The Grolier Club 2000 6 x 9 inches paperback 24 pages
This catalogue describes books from the collection of Mark D. Tomasko showcased at the Grolier Club exhibition from November 29, 2000 to January 12, 2001. New York City became the collecting interest of Tomasko when the outer edges of the city were still surrounded by buildings from New York's seaport era. Over the years, New York's landscape and architecture changed, and he began mostly collecting guidebooks, maps, viewbooks, prints, photographs, and other materials that illustrated the growth and development of the city. The books in this catalogue are a small sampling of maps of New York from Tomasko's collection, illustrating the development of the city.

  Tselikas, Agamemnon (transcriber) ANTONIO MILLO ISOLARIO
Athens AdVenture 2006 8.5 x 11.25 inches cloth, dust jacket 352 pages
Antonio Millo was a sixteenth-century cartographer who lived in Venice. This publication is based on one of his oldest Italian manuscripts, most likely transcribed while he was still alive.

Millo's earliest dated Isolario (a manuscript description of an island and its corresponding maps) comes from the collection of Sylvia Ioannous that was devoted to the history of her homeland, Cyprus. The Isolario was chosen specifically from the collection to portray the intellect, experience, and magic of the Eastern Mediterranean.

This book, translated into both Greek and English, details over 200 maps, each containing specific information about an island and its reefs, sandbanks, ports, and cities. Also included are its perimeters, the depth of waters, anchorage, locations of drinking water, and the distances and routes from one place to another. Longitudes and latitudes and the voyage from Tripopli of Syria to the city of Venice are also examined. Each passage explains in great detail the nautical terms of the time that may no longer be used or are unfamiliar to the reader.

  van den Broecke, Marcel ORTELIUS ATLAS MAPS: AN ILLUSTRATED GUIDE.
`t Goy-Houten HES & DE GRAAF 2011 5.5 x 9.5 inches hardover 708 pages
Ortelius Atlas Maps (1996) by Marcel P. R. van de Broecke was the first book to describe the various editions of the famous atlas Theatrum Orbis Terrarum (1570). After the publication of Ortelius Atlas Maps, the numbering of the maps given by van den Broecke became the international standard numbering system for cartography books, articles, and auction and dealer catalogues. Each is identified by its "van den Broecke" or "vdB" number. This revised edition contains corrections, extra information to date the charts more correctly, descriptions of title pages, and a portrait of Ortelius. The book is a practical and informative manual that gives an extensive overview of the Theatrum Orbis Terrarum and includes descriptions of all the maps that appeared in this famous first atlas by Abraham Ortelius. It provides illustrations and information on the various editions of every map that has appeared in the Ortelius Atlas and includes valuable information on the dating and origins of the maps. Examples of changes to the new edition in-clude: of the 234 atlas maps listed, six (viz. Ort27, Portugal; Ort64, Liége; Ort174, Artois; Ort188, Roman Empire; Ort195, Gallia Vetus; and Ort225, Erythraei) turned out to be later states of existing plates. One plate, Ort178, Geographia Sacra, turned out to be a later copy by Janssonius of Ort179, Geographia Sacra. Details about these corrections are given under the specific maps. Another addition is a new plate that has surfaced since the first edition in 1996: Ort11(1), a very close copy of the early state of Ort11, the third plate of the Americas. In 1996, 372 different states were reported for 234 plates. Now, 524 states are reported for 229 plates. This new edition also includes a description of the fourth plate of the Americas, additional title pages, the last lines of text printed on verso of each map in every edition in which that occurs, translated text blocks, and acknowledgements and references. Contains 240 illustrations.

San Francisco The Institute of Historical Cartography 1959 folio two-toned cloth. xiv,264; xiii,281; xiii,260; xix,222; (iv),223-487 pages.
First edition, limited to 1000 sets. Wheat, the well-known California historian, undertook this work in an effort to trace the opening of the American West by studying the succession of maps which, beginning in the 1540s, accurately trace the paths of the explorers and the record of the resulting growth of knowledge.
He sought out every map, relating to the Transmississippi West before 1861 and selected the most interesting and important. These maps cover the story of Spanish, French and English exploration.
In all, 1,302 maps are fully described, with many illustrated in full-page. A chronological calendar of maps, a full index, and a system of marginal references make these volumes easier to use than any other comparable work.
This set lacks volume III which covered the period 1846-1854.
